On july 28, 2023, the mentor failure analysis lab has received the device for evaluation.On july 31, 2023, the evaluation for the device was completed.Device evaluation summary: visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that the sx mpp gel 800cc breast implant had an area of siltex cracking on the posterior view.Leak testing was performed, in accordance with mentor procedures, and no areas of gel exposure were detected during the analysis.Although no conclusion could be reach on the cause of the reported event, the instructions for use contain the following caution: rupture status identified by mri evaluation includes both suspected ruptures, which are those ruptures identified by mri but not confirmed by explantation and examination of the device, and confirmed ruptures, which are those ruptures that are confirmed by evaluation of the explanted devices.The event described could not be confirmed as the breast implant was returned without detectable leakage.Although no rupture was identified, there may have been other circumstances or issues that occurred during the use of the device that could not be replicated during the laboratory analysis.As part of mentor¿s quality process, all devices are manufactured, inspected, and released to approved specifications.Capa activity was not required.Additional complaint information monitoring for potential safety signals will be conducted through complaint trending as part of post-market surveillance.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
